The measurement of seven demethylation action site range of embodiment
According to embodiment two, inventor has synthesized ssDNA that 30 (15 are directed to the fusion protein of dCas9, and 15 are directed to the fusion protein of dCpf1) length are 59 bases as reaction substrate, their complementary ssDNA and corresponding sgRNA primer.Wherein 5 ' the ends of reaction substrate ssDNA are modified by fluorophor FAM, and there are the C (Met-C) of a methylation modification, that is, the target edited in centre.SsDNA is complementary chain and is formed after dsDNA substrate, and the region Cas9 of recombinant protein can be integrated to the corresponding region among dsDNA under corresponding sgRNA guidance, and by the base unwinding of about 20, the region, that is, a single stranded zone is formed among dsDNA.Target Met-C just in this region, and is named as substrate 4-20 according to its distance (4-20 base) to 5 ' end double stranded regions.After recombinant protein is in conjunction with different sgRNA again with corresponding dsDNA substrate-function after a certain period of time, a part of target Met-C will become T under deamination, with G one protrusion of unpaired formation on complementary strand.The TDG that addition 1Unit after reaction is terminated by high temperature, can remove the T base for having no idea normally to match, to form a missing in the editor target position of substrate.DsDNA can become ssDNA again again and be broken in base deletion site under the collective effect of EDTA (0.5ul concentration is 0.5M), Formamide (10ul) and NaOH (1ul 5M) later.Since 5 ' the short chain ssDNA in end of fracture and the ssDNA substrate that is not applied have specific FAM fluorophor to mark at 5 ' ends, the relative scale of the two can be accurately calculated, and infer that Met-C is become in the site functioning efficiency of T by recombinant protein with this.
Such as Fig. 3, pass through the experimental result to 15 different substrates, it can be seen that the dCas9 fusion protein for being (GGS) 3 for linker, with 5 of single-stranded regions after the double-strand unwinding of target area ' end first base distance can be changed into T for the Met-C in 7-10 base, and surpass then will not of going beyond the scope；And for linker it is the fusion protein of (GGS) 7 and (GGS) 14, the distance of this edit interval is 6-11 base and 5-13 base.This range can slightly broaden because of the length of linker.This range will be the important evidence of experimental design and the following gene therapy design sgRNA after us.
Can also see that the activity of A3H from result more by force than A3A outline.
From the results, it was seen that the albumen that the dCpf1 that linker length is (GGS) 7 is merged also has similar activity, the distance for acting on section is 7-12 base.
Control group experiment, the T of positive synthesis, negative uses mistake sgRNA and the not Cas-9 or Cpf1 of sgRNA.
Control experiment is mainly for two problems of proof: first, our method is feasible.Selection wherein some be clearly visible the group that short chain DNA is formed, we synthesize same ssDNA substrate, but intermediate Met-C are become T, that is, artificially complete the function of recombinant protein.Later using same operation.As a result the appearance of short chain DNA is equally seen.Prove that the short chain DNA in experimental result is strictly to be acted on generating on target dna by recombinant protein；Second, by allowing recombinant protein not combine or being further continued for next experiment flow in conjunction with unpaired sgRNA, there is no short chain DNAs to generate, it was demonstrated that such editor is orientation.
The influence of eight action site upstream and downstream base of embodiment
Use recombinant protein (linker GGS*7, Apobec albumen is A3H) effect editor's previous bit base of target spot to the research object of the activity influence of demethylation.
Research based on forefathers to Apobec protein family, its activity of the base-pair of the editor previous position of target spot have direct influence.We have chosen the substrate that Met-C is located at No. 7 positions, and changing previous bit base respectively is A, T, C and G.Such as Fig. 4, test result is shown, the sequence of previous bit base does not influence editorial efficiency substantially, it was demonstrated that the versatility of this technology.
The efficiency of the intracellular demethylation of embodiment nine
When we have demonstrated that the recombinant protein after the extracellular ability for having preferably and Met-C being become to T, it is desirable that further verifying in the cell such activity whether still remain, the T after activity intensity and reaction whether can be by the DNA repair mechanism reparation of cell itself at common C, to have the function that pinpoint demethylation.Applicant devises three groups and tests into the cell, and the promoter region that we have chosen three different genes respectively carries out demethylation test.
First intracellular editor's target is two methylation C in 17741472 and 17741474 sites of No. 11 chromosome, positioned at the promoter region of gene M YOD1 in HEK293 cell line.Such as Fig. 5, this is the experiment proves that this system can accurately edit that of our selections in the close methylation modification in two positions.
Second editor's target is a methylation C in No. 6 31138558 sites of chromosome, positioned at the promoter region of gene POUF1 in HEK293 cell line.Such as Fig. 5, this experiment also obtains ideal edit effect.
It is a methylation C in 113875226 sites of No. 2 chromosome, positioned at the promoter region of gene IL1RN in PC3 cell line that third, which edits target,.Such as Fig. 6, this system designs one or two sites in two methylation sites that can be adjacent by reasonable sgRNA.
Recombinant vector is constructed using method described in embodiment six respectively and is transfected to cell, then edited result is assessed by pyrosequencing.
There is the ratio of indel (insertion and deletion) after editing into the cell in embodiment ten
Based on the sequencing result of above-mentioned experiment, we have counted the case where base occurred near target site in the whole process is inserted into (insertion) and missing (deletion) simultaneously.It looks around from sequencing result the phenomenon that being not inserted into and lacking base appearance.
